  5. The Diode Models1. The Ideal Diode Model

  6. The Diode: P-N Junction Diode Schematic Symbol: Anode Cathode p n

  7. Diode Circuits: anode Reversed bias + + Forward bias - - cathode The left hand diagram shows the reverse biased junction. No current flows flows. The other diagram shows forward biased junction. A current flows.

  8. Forward-Biased Diode Circuit:

  9. Reverse-Biased Diode Circuit:

  10. Effect of VF:

  11. Example-1

  12. Example-2

  13. Example-3

  14. Percentage Error: where X = the measured value X’ = the calculated value

  15. Example-4

  16. Power Dissipation PD(max)

  17. I0 and PD(max) Relationship: where I0 = the limit on the average forward current PD(max) = the forward power dissipation rating of the diode VF = the diode forward voltage (0.7V for Si)

  18. Forward Power Dissipation PD(max): Choose a diode with forward power dissipation PD(max) at least 20% greater than actual power dissipation.

  19. Example 5. A diode has a forward power dissipation rating of 500 mW. What is the maximum allowable value of forward current for the device?

  20. Complete: Model Diode Curve (Ref 3). Forward operating region Reverse operating region (also called the reverse breakdown region)

  21. Another Example: Determine voltage across diode in Fig. 2.19 (Ref. 3) for the values of IF = 1 mA and IF = 5 mA. Assume that the value for RB= 5W. IF = 1 mA: IF = 5 mA: Bulk resistance has a significant effect on voltage drop across diode terminals when the forward current is large.

  22. The Diode Models4. Piecewise-Linear Diode Model5. Constant-Voltage Diode Model6. Dynamic Resistance, AC Resistance

  23. Piecewise Linear Diode Model: More accurate than the ideal diode model and does not rely on nonlinear equation or graphical techniques. • Diode I-V characteristic approximated • by straight line segments. • We model each section of the diode • I-V characteristic with R in series with • a fixed voltage source.

  24. Constant-Voltage Diode Model: • If VD < VD,on: The diode operates as an open circuit. • If VDVD,on: The diode operates as a constant voltage source with value VD,on.

  25. Example: Diode dc Bias Calculations • This example shows the simplicity provided by a constant-voltage model over an exponential model. • Using an exponential model, iteration is needed to solve for current. Using a constant-voltage model, only linear equations need to be solved.

  26. Small-Signal Analysis of Diodes: • Small-signal analysis is performed at a DC bias point by perturbing the voltage by a small amount and observing the resulting linear current perturbation. • If two points on the I-V curve are very close, the curve in-between these points is well approximated by a straight line:

  27. Small-Signal Analysis of Diodes: • Since there is a linear relationship between the small-signal current and small-signal voltage of a diode, the diode can be viewed as a linear resistor when only small changes in voltage are of interest. Small-Signal Resistance (or Dynamic Resistance)

  28. Small-Signal Analysis of Diodes: Small-signal analysis is performed around a bias point by perturbing the voltage by a small amount and observing the resulting linear current perturbation.

  29. Small-Signal Analysis of Diodes: • If two points on the IV curve of a diode are close enough, the trajectory connecting the first to the second point is like a line, with the slope being the proportionality factor between change in voltage and change in current.

  30. Small Sinusoidal Analysis: • If a sinusoidal voltage with small amplitude is applied, the resulting current is also a small sinusoid around a value.

  31. Resistance Levels: • The operating point of a diode moves from one region to another the resistance of the diode will also change due to the nonlinear shape of the characteristic curve • The type of applied voltage or signal will define the resistance level of interest • Three different types of applied voltage • DC or Static Resistance • AC or Dynamic Resistance • Average AC Resistance

  32. DC or Static Resistance • The application of a dc voltage to a circuit containing a semiconductor diode will result in an operating point on the characteristic curve that will not change with time • The resistance of the diode at the operating point can be found simply by finding the corresponding levels of VD and ID • The lower current through a diode the higher the dc resistance level

  33. AC or Dynamic Resistance • The varying input will move the instantaneous operating point up and down a region of the characteristics and thus defines a specific change in current and voltage as shown in the Fig.
